Us
It has to be like fire: Creeping, raving, seething,
Burning things, eating oxygen, all-engulfing
Perfectly selfish -
A cause of death, is death itself.
Because if it was anything like heat
Just heat
Then it isn’t worth a damn thing
Not a damn thing.
It has to be like fire: Curious,
Unforgiving for what it is
Red orange yellow - sometimes blue -
Spontaneous
Somehow still requiring a catalyst,
Necessitates precision because it’s not
Merely a matter of two stones rubbing against
One another but rather substances, chemistry
And the elusive infinity
